Description
"Lost Millenials" project strives to contribute to the successful integration of 25+ NEETs into the labour market or education and training by increasing knowledge on the effects of employment initiatives. 25+ NEETs are a usually neglected group of Millennials, who started their working life shortly after the economic crisis of 2008, perceiving uncertainty and lack of security for work and wellbeing. We focus on three types of activities:
- Capacity-building, with a transnational network of researchers and experts to share know-how and best practices;
- Research, with evaluations of governmental and community-based initiatives targeting 25+ NEETs;
- Stakeholder engagement, with various activities and events to engage experts, evaluators, NEETs and policy-makers and increase the relevance of project results for policy and practice.
In the first year of the project, partners carry out background research on the situation of 25+ NEETs, explore the relevant policy context and map the already existing initiatives and evaluation practices. The first comparative report of the project is expected to be published in July 2022. The capacity-building activities have also started with the first online event of the project which brought together over 60 researchers and experts in the fields of employment policy, youth (un)employment and impact evaluations from across Europe.
We aim to provide a comparative perspective on 25+ NEETs, the policy context and the labour market initiatives which will be evaluated by project partners. The project is implemented in 9 beneficiary countries with the support of 4 expertise partners, which enhances the transnational relevance of the research that has and will be carried out throughout the project’s lifetime.
